Claire's 19th birthday

We started Claire's birthday celebration at Osaka Japanese Restaurant Sushi & Hibachi Steakhouse. The light was dim and I only had a phone for pictures, so please excuse the fuzziness. Below, Pat finishes her annual recount of Claire's birth. Spare me the details. I was there.

Some of our sushi dinner, including soft shell crabs, shrimp, eel and assorted slimy and gooey stuff.

We migrated to Hemingway's Ltd for dessert. In Claire's expert opinion, the flavors were good but the presentation was sloppy by Eurpoean standards. I noticed she ate all of her mixed berry crepe.

Of course Pat is smiling--it's chocolate!!!

The mocha ganache between the cake layers was magnifico!
